Evolve MMA has offered me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as there truly is no other role in MMA quite like this, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to coach, full-time, wrote Ebersole on Facebook. Being able to share what I’ve come to know, and lead a group of young athletes will be an awesome daily experience, but I’m also fortunate to be able to continue my own studies, as I’ll be surrounded by championship-level athletes and coaches each day.
